A WHIPS LETrERs.
epinions - 20 she RIEhs Of musband
70 open MS wife's Letters.
lSt. James Gasstts. !


The Partisan advocates discussed the
delicate question, '' Has a husband a
right 10 open his wife's letters?'' at
their last conference, and they decided
That be has. A journalist who has
consulted several extra-legal lumina-
ries on the point finds them, with a
single exception, in substantial agree
ment with the lawyers. An enlight-
ened priest, whose name is not given,
answered that the doctrine OF the
church was that the husband is master
IN the house, and that he had, there
fore, perfect right to open his wife's
letters.
NJ. de Presseuse. the leading Protest
ant pastor in Paris, was somewhat less
affirmative, though, as regards wives
who had anything 10 fear from the ex-
ereise Of the right, he supported the
decision of the barristers, while in the
case Of good wife he could not see
how il mattered either way. Alexandra
Dumas, looking at the question from
the historieo- philosophical standpoint,
contended that what we knew of the
relations of Adam and Eve in the Gar
den of Eden clearly establishes the right
OF the husband to inspect his wife's cor
respondence.
Nine. Peyrebuue's answer was also
in the affirmative, though she added
that the question was of no practical
importance, as compromising letters
are never sent through thepos Nine.
Adam was the only disSentient. In her
opinion the husband who opened his
wife's letters was nothing more nor less
than a BLACKBOARD.
